Investing In What Lasts
Contributed on Sep 23, 2025
This sermon calls us to live with holy urgency and single-hearted devotion, being faithful in the small things and using our time, relationships, and resources now with eternity in mind, serving one Master, Christ.
Luke 16:1–13 is another one of those strange passages in the Gospels. Jesus tells a story about a manager who mishandles his boss’s money, gets caught, and then cuts secret deals to secure his own future. And at the end of the story, the master actually praises him! This is not the kind of hero you ...read more

When The Cure Looks Like The Curse
Contributed on Sep 16, 2025
This sermon calls us to lift our eyes from our wounds to Christ...just as the Israelites looked at the bronze serpent, trusting God to transform our places of pain into sources of healing and redemption.
Have you ever had to look at the very thing that hurt you in order to be healed? That sounds counterintuitive, doesn’t it? We tend to run from pain, not toward it. We avoid the memories that wounded us, the people who betrayed us, the experiences that left us scarred. But what if God invites us, ...read more

Refresh My Heart
Contributed on Sep 8, 2025
This sermon shows how Paul’s opening words to Philemon (vv. 1–7) model grace-filled leadership, reminding us that our reputation in Christ matters, forgiveness is the mark of maturity, and we are called to refresh others’ hearts with the same love we’ve received.
Sometimes the most powerful messages come in the smallest packages. That’s true in life, and it’s certainly true in the Bible. Philemon is the shortest letter Paul wrote, just 25 verses. You could read it in under two minutes. But in those 25 verses, Paul lays out a powerful, personal, and deeply ...read more

Cracked Cisterns And Living Water
Contributed on Sep 2, 2025
This sermon explores Jeremiah 2’s image of cracked cisterns and the fountain of living water, reminding us that faith was never meant to be contained or controlled but to flow with the living, moving grace of God.
Let me start with a confession. I’m not much of a handyman. I try. I really do. I have a toolbox, I watch the YouTube videos, and I stand in the aisle at Lowe’s like I know what I’m doing, but often, I end up calling someone more competent to fix whatever I broke in the process of trying to fix ...read more

Living For What Cannot Be Shaken
Contributed on Aug 27, 2025
This sermon proclaims that when life shakes and everything else crumbles, we can stand firm with confidence, gratitude, and awe because through Jesus we belong to God’s unshakable Kingdom of grace.
We’ve all had moments in life when everything feels like it’s falling apart...relationships, finances, health, or even our faith. It feels like the ground beneath us is shaking, and we wonder, “Where is God in all this?” The answer is: God is right here. And His Kingdom cannot be shaken. Hebrews 12 ...read more
